A brief sample from this week's edition:

Michael Massimino, Astronaut: "And I could see what they would be saying in the science books of the future. This was gonna be my legacy. My children and my grandchildren would read in their classrooms: We would know if there was life on other planets, but Gabby and Daniel's dad broke the Hubble Space Telescope, and we'll never know."

Jonathan Evans: "Ah, the tank top: Believed by some to be cool and practical, and others to be a grossly inappropriate display of side ham. Yes, it's August. Yes, it's hot. And yes, we know the saying Sun's out, guns out. But, like most things, if you're considering eschewing sleeves, there are rules to be followed."

Brendan Jay Sullivan: "At that time I was going through a bad breakup, working nights as a DJ in Lower Manhattan. My breakup buddy was a young singer and go-go dancer. She was twenty, an NYU dropout who'd recently been dumped by her first record label. She called herself Lady Gaga, and was at times convinced that her whole life was over. We bonded over our failures: hers with music, mine with Esquire."

Josh Ozersky: "You are more likely to be killed by a falling anvil than to get sick from trichinosis."

Nate Hopper: "A Korean study about penile injections was addressed. One chemical, Lipen-10, was said to increase the circumference of a penis by nearly two inches and the length by one, with no significant side effects. That is, if you don't consider a sudden urge to crack open the piñata at your son's birthday party with your genitalia a significant side effect."

Some guy: "GO HOME, CANADA."

Plus: We meet a Woman We Love, compete on American Ninja Warrior, try a recipe inspired by a 123-year-old Bolvian man, and bring you the Esquire Summer Music Festival. That and more, free to digital subscribers.
